​

Nowadays, urban poor living at Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur is lack of public community spaces in their living surrounding. It is also lack of green forest spaces which leads to the earth global warming issue. The community around the Chow Kit do a lot of retail activities and business trades among themselves but not in a proper way which they use to be clustered during day and night.  For the example is the night market. We are designing an improved public centre for an urban area which enhances the ecological, society and economy sectors of the city by injecting the forest concept into the design.
